Abstract

In this paper, we present a chip-level electrothermal simulator, ILLIADS-T. It aims at finding the steady-state CMOS VLSI chip temperature profile and the corresponding circuit performance. With this tool, temperature-related reliability problems of VLSI chips can be accurately predicted to guide the module placement, packaging, as well as the timing verification.
